Screen Saver

[Guest]

I have set my screen saver to my pictures and it works fine in the preview
screen but won't ever start after the wait time. I have two of the same
computers and one works and the other doesn't. I've check that they both
have the same setting.
Can anyone help?

Posting from another user by the name of David:
â€I figured out what the problem is. It's the Microsoft Wireless Mouse. If I switch
the mouse to one with a tail the screensaver works.â€
then David posted again
â€I got a fix. I changed to connection to the computer using the USB to PS2 adapter
that came with the mouse. Now I get the screensaver. I would be interested to find
out why this works.â€

Yes, the wireless mouse seems to be the problem although I have a wireless
mouse on our other computer with any problems. I have reconnected a wired
mouse and it works fine.
